Democracy - A Religion

Author: Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi | Pages: 39 | Size: 1 MB

Recently, a debate between our religiously committed brothers has
erupted on the Internet regarding the permissibility of participating in
democratic elections in the West. An article entitled “To Vote or Not
to Vote” and another entitled “Why Vote, and Who to Vote For?” in
particular have raised several points, which we feel are necessary to
address as well as certain others related to Democracy and participation
in the electoral process in general. In this short address, we will
attempt to offer some clarification on the issue with the hope of
refuting some claims and correcting some errors of the authors of these
articles as well as addressing some of the more common mistakes related
to this topic overall. In approaching the topic of Muslims participating
in democratic elections, certain introductory points must be made. It
is our intention to be very brief in these points as to avoid dwelling
upon them and we only mention them for later reference in discussing the
core issue of dispute regarding the permissibility of participating in
the democratic elections.
